Question

what type of stoichiometric defect is shown by zns

Answer 1

Hey !!

ZnS shows Frenkel Defect because its ions have a large difference in size.

Answer 2

${\huge{\underline{\boxed{\red{Answer:}}}}}$

• ZnS shows Frankel defect

Explanation:

Frankel defect arises when an atom or smaller ion leaves its place in the lattice, creating a vacancy and becomes an interstitial by lodging in a nearby location. This occurs in ZnS due to the comparatively smaller size of Zn2+ .
